On the other side of the camp, the leaders of the first and second forces sat together. There were only four people in the meeting room. There was no light in the room, and it was a little dark. The only source of light was the sunlight that shone through the window. The angle of the sun was not good, and there were not many beams of light. In the dark room, the sunlight was especially bright, and within the light, there were countless dust particles moving.
Under the scattered light, four grown men sat at the conference table, deep in thought. The ashtrays in front of each of them were filled with cigarette butts, most of them only half burnt. In this gathering place where supplies were extremely scarce, this was a type of extravagant behavior that made the commoners go crazy. The price of a pack of cigarettes in the market area was one jin of rice, the better ones directly multiplied by ten times, and here, all of them were good cigarettes that cost ten jin of rice per pack.
The four men did not make a sound. Some of them stared at the smoke coming out from the cigarette butts in their hands, some of them held a teacup lid and used the side of the lid to gently scratch the rim of the cup, listening to the unpleasant sound. Some of them held a lighter and flicked it between their fingers. Only Chen Huiyong sat on the chair with his eyes closed, as though he was thinking about something. As for what he was thinking about, only he knew.
"Does anyone know if there's an armory nearby?"
Liu Zhenghua opened his mouth, his tone was a little helpless. He recognized the equipment in the car, and they were all old weapons. Even the armed police, as a security force, did not look up to them. At least, the weapons of the armed police were developed after the 80s.
Liu Zhenghua's question was a difficult one. Those who were in the field did not know much about it. Qian Kaixi was very familiar with the police, but he did not know much about the armed forces.
"Huiyong, you're smart. Where do you think the armory is?
It's not like it's hidden deep in the mountains. "
Sun Kefu asked his cousin. Last night, the scattered bullets on the ground made him envious. Although the guns in his hands were all Type-81 rifles, they did not have many bullets. Each gun only had an average of sixty bullets, and sixty bullets was not much for an automatic rifle.
"I don't think so. Yesterday, they came back in two batches. One batch arrived at seven in the evening, and the other batch arrived at five in the morning. Apart from the time needed to find and transport the weapons, the time difference between the two batches wasn't that big. Since they should have found the neighboring county's armory, it shouldn't be that big."
As a snitch, Chen Huiyong's first thought was to cover for the camp. There was an unknown object in his thigh, and God knows what it was. If he could avoid offending the camp, he would try his best not to.
"It's possible. They came back in two batches. If the armory was big enough, why didn't they come back together?
Maybe they took all the weapons and ammunition in the small armory? "
Qian Kaixi made his own prediction. According to his habits, if there was a good thing, he would naturally grab it first. In the post-apocalyptic world, only guns and ammunition were the foundation of survival.
Hearing Qian Kaixi's analysis, Sun Kefu and Chen Huiyong nodded their heads. Sun Kefu was dispirited, while Chen Huiyong really wanted to settle this matter.
"Hehe … Old Qian, you still don't understand. There are several types of armory. The first type is the active armory, like the police armory. The equipment is constantly updated. The other type is the militia reserve armory. The ones they use are the ones that have been eliminated by the active forces. These are the ones from the 70's to the 80's.
The armory is all old weapons from the 70's. A large portion of them have been destroyed, and the remaining ones are in good condition and are kept as a precaution.
This kind of armory can at least equip an infantry division, maybe even more. There's also a huge amount of ammunition. Coincidentally, I recognized the anti-aircraft machine guns and recoilless cannons that they brought back. Those are all old weapons. What kind of armory do you think they found? "
"Hiss …"
Qian Kaixi sucked in a breath of cold air. Sun Kefu looked at Liu Zhenghua in a daze. His mouth was wide open, and water was about to flow out. His right hand subconsciously reached for the ashtray, and his two fingers picked up a cigarette butt like he was holding a peanut, and threw it into his mouth. "Pui pui …" The smell of the cigarette butt woke him up, and he quickly spat it on the ground.
Chen Huiyong weakly leaned back on the chair, and sighed for the 1001st time. The life of a snitch was really not for humans.
"Without an accurate location, it's impossible for us to find it. Maybe in the previous station, I could find the location of all the armory around Wuhan City. Here, we can't be like them and blindly wander around. We can only rely on luck to find it. A few days ago, one of our scouting teams was annihilated, and we don't know what they encountered."
Then, Liu Zhenghua was depressed. They were different from the convoy. The convoy had rich experience in fighting zombies, but they had been guarding the gathering place and did not dare to attack. They did not have heavy weapons, and they did not have enough ammunition. They only had soldiers left, and if they did not even have soldiers, they did not know how to maintain themselves.
"Why don't we go and find that old bastard Zhang Huai An?
Let's see if we can exchange food with him? "
Qian Kaixi always felt awkward when he thought about dealing with Zhang Huai An. He did not know why, but he found that Zhang Huai An was too slippery. Whether it was a big or a small matter, Zhang Huai An never made a decision at the first moment. He would always wait for a few days before telling them whether he agreed or not.
They could not understand Zhang Huai An's behavior. He was cunning, and often did things that they could not understand. Every time they came in contact with Zhang Huai An, it was not a discussion, but a wrangling. No matter how serious the matter was, Zhang Huai An could make it look like porridge. No matter how clear the reason was, Zhang Huai An could pretend to be senile.
Thinking about Zhang Huai An, Qian Kaixi felt his teeth ache. Sure enough, when Zhang Huai An's name came out, the other three's face changed color. They felt that they were not talking about Zhang Huai An, but a cockroach.
"It's not possible. Don't you know what kind of person that old bastard is?
He will scold him for a week if he suffers a little loss. Now, they are not short of food. When they came back yesterday, the bags of food were stacked to the sky. If we go, won't we be ridiculed by him for nothing? "
When Liu Zhenghua said this, Sun Kefu and Chen Huiyong nodded again and again, especially Chen Huiyong. He was tortured by Zhang Huai An to the point that he wanted to die. Now, when he saw Zhang Huai An, his legs and stomach cramped.
"I am just saying. What do you think we should do?"
Qian Kaixi also thought that it was impossible, so he pushed the problem to Liu Zhenghua.
Liu Zhenghua lowered his head and pondered. Sun Kefu had an idea.
"They will definitely not only transport this batch of firearms. When they set off again, we will send someone to follow them. Can't we just follow them to the armory?"
"Cousin, aren't you courting death by sending people to follow them?
The armory wasn't something else. Would they still turn a blind eye to it like they did in the past?
Don't ruin our relationship. "
Chen Huiyong objected. Sending people to follow them was too stupid and too obvious. Wasn't it obvious that they would be beaten up by others?
"Isn't there a guy in our colony who is an evolved person?
He has no other abilities, but he can run and hide. The last time he was chased by someone, they chased him in a car in the colony. He ran for a whole day and was not caught. Hundreds of bullets did not even scratch his skin. He is still alive and well. Why don't we just let him go? "
The evolved person Sun Kefu mentioned was a legendary figure in the colony. He was a thief and did not have the guts to steal. Even after becoming an evolved person, he could not let go of his professional habits. There was nothing to steal from the poor people, so he turned to those who had surplus food. He did not dare to touch the three major forces, so he turned to the smaller forces and used hundreds of pounds of rice to support the tertiary industry.
He was having a good time in the red light district, but the forces that he stole from were not happy. There was a hot-tempered leader who hated him to the extreme. He took out dozens of bags of rice to buy guns and ammunition and chased after him in a car for a whole day.
The evolved person did not run into the crowd, but ran in circles. In the end, when he ran out of bullets and ran out of gas, he could not hurt a single hair on his body. Seeing the car stop, the evolved person ran over and asked the leader if he wanted to continue the chase tomorrow.
He said that he had put on some weight recently and wanted to lose weight. The leader was so angry that he vomited blood and died.
"Hmm … Now that you mention it, I almost forgot about this person. This is a good idea. We just need to take out two boxes of canned meat and a few cartons of cigarettes to get that guy to come over. He won't be afraid of the zombies, so he should agree."
Liu Zhenghua agreed with this idea, and Qian Kaixi did not object either. Only Chen Huiyong's expression was uncertain. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to pretend that he did not see or hear anything.
